Sahx take 2 of 3 from Twinkies with all 3 games being nail biters

GAME 1 - HHH Metrodome
Wakefield vs Radke
Red Sox 5, Twins 4 (11 inn)

Five solo homers, two by Mo Vaughn, were needed for the Sahx to power their way past the Twinkies.  Boston jumped out to a 4-0 lead, but Wake gave back 4 runs in the bottom of the 7th.  A one out solo blast in the top of the 11th by Troy O'Leary won the game.  Mike Maddux, who threw 2 innings of shutout ball got the win, and Stan Belinda's perfect bottom of the 11th was rewarded with a save.

GAME 2
Hanson vs Santana
Twins 2, Red Sox 1

Johan Santana threw 136 pitches in 6 2/3 innings, then handed the ball off to Reyes and Nathan, who prevented Boston's powerful offense from doing any damage.  Reyes got the win and Johan the ND.  The game was played in a cool 2 hours and 11 minutes.  The Twins scored what would be the winning run in the bottom of the 8th by recording back to back to back singles by Nick Punto, Lew Ford and Luis Castillo.  The latter knocking in Punto for the big run.

GAME 3 - Fenway Park
Liriano vs Clemens
Red Sox 3, Twins 1

Vintage Rocket minus the K's tonight.  Roger Clemens (3-1, 2.25) looked like the old Clemens and not an older Clemens.  Stan Belinda and Rick Aguilera combined for scoreless innings to finish off the Twins.  Mike Macfarlane's 4th homer of the season was a 2 run shot in the 2nd, which looked to be the difference maker for a long time until Luis Alicea's sac fly in the 8th provided a bit more breathing room.  Sahx are now 5-1 under their interim manager as they chase the hot Jays in the East.
